Pegg To Voice Narnia Character

Simon Pegg, Star Trek XI‘s Scotty, will be voicing Reepicheep in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.

Bill Nighy, who was originally slated to voice Reepicheep, was replaced by Pegg, who confirmed the role on his Twitter account. “Yes Narnians, the rumours are true,” said Pegg. “I have gone through the picture in the bedroom.”

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, the third installment in the Chronicles of Narnia film series, is now in post-production and is due to be released December 10, 2009.

In The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, “Edmund and Lucy Pevensie (Skandar Keynes, Georgie Henley), along with their cousin Eustace (Will Poulter) and their royal friend King Caspian (Ben Barnes), find themselves swallowed into a painting and on to the Dawn Treader. As they embark on an incredible adventure of destiny and discovery, they confront obstacles beyond imagination.”
